Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Mardu attack-trigger deck tuned to exploit Isshin, Two Heavens as One. Every 'whenever a creature attacks' trigger on a permanent you control fires twice, from token generators like Hanweir Garrison to damage bursts from Hellrider and drains from Brutal Hordechief. The primary plan is to drop Isshin early, go wide with tokens, then close with triple combat from Aurelia the Warleader or Response // Resurgence. Secondary paths use Etali and Elder Brain to steal resources, while protection instants and mass removal buy time. The deck is aggressive but linear, with no tutors and a modest draw package, so its success depends heavily on curving into Isshin and preserving him.
